Bitdefender says flex is a virus? This has to be a postive positive (False alarm)

Okay I'm experiencing some random acts of weirdness with my anti-virus saying flex is a virus. I'm sure it is just a positive-positive (false, not real) and that bitdefender is just confused. I always try to air on the side of caution so I'm posting the warnings I recieved.
Virus name exploit.SWF.Gen
path: flex\frameworks\libs\air\applicationupdater_ui.swc=>library.swf
Virus name exploit.SWF.Gen
flex\frameworks\libs\air\applicationupdater_ui.swf
virus name exploit.SWF.Gen local\temp\adobeupdate\extensions\adobe flash 10 (the rest is so long I can't type it all accurately)
anyways I just want adobe to know about this and I want to make sure that these are errors from my anti-virus even though I'm pretty darn sure they are.

Ignore it.
You do not give the actual address of the warning, but it is almost certainly fake and not going to be helpful. Quite likely it twill try to collect money or download malware.

Podcast app still downloads on mobile data when settings say it shouldn't. This has cost me money due to data allowance. Any idea how I can stop this?

This has happened a few times now. It always seems to happen at the start of the month as well so I can not use mobile data for the rest of the month.
Apple are just wasting my money because of a fault in their system. Really need to get this sorted!

This happened to me, too. I found that the new Podcast app goes wild. The iPad was in the computer case all day and ate up 5GB of data, and that was on ATT 3G. Battery power was down to 60% and the iPad was warm. Anyway, I opened "Settings" and scrolled down to and opened "Podcast". There I found a switch to turn off the cellular data for Podcast downloads. Evidently the default setting by Apple is ON... Oh well. I hope that this kills that problem.

HT204406 Why is it that when I play albums through the cloud on my iphone they play in the wrong order, this has happened not every time, but with alarming regularity?

I have just been listening to an album on my iphone through the cloud, and noticed that the album was playing in an odd order, and whe I tried to adjust to play the album from the beginning again it still took me to what seemed a random track next, and this happened consistently, seems odd heh? ANy clues?

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Second day in a row Safari is not working. It says "service temporarily unavailable ". I have had my iPad for 7 months. This has never happened before and now two days in a row! What can I do?

Safari on my iPad says service temporarily unavailable. This has now happened two days in a row. What can I do to correct this? It has never happened before in 7 months of owning my iPad. I bought a wireless Logitech keyboard, but that should not affect Safari? It worked earlier in the day yesterday with then keyboard.

Also if I ever have to reboot again, is there some way to save the apps I have on my iPad? I did choose the option to back up prior to restarting, but apps had to be manually re-entered?
This has me confused. Rebooting the iPad (holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen) should not in any way, shape or form, remove content from the iPad.
Then you stated that you chose the option to back up before restarting? There is no option to backup before "restarting" on the iPad. Are you restoring the device in iTunes?

Reset the password when trying to connect to my wi fi? The password keeps saying its incorrect when I know its not, all my other wireless devices connect no problem and this has been ongoing for months now and im getting a little pi**ed off now

when i try to connect my ipod touch to my wireless network, its keeps saying the password is incorrect-this has been ongoing for several months now even though it used to connect when I first bought the ipod-is there anyway to reset the password?

All devices should automatically reestablish a connection after power cycling the router.
Also try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try:
Apple - Support - iPod touch - Wi-Fi

if you are downloading from the Adobe site, your antivirus software may be giving a false positive. Is it up to date ?

Itunes error. the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat.

I have a windows Xp computer. and i needed to download the newest itunes to support my ipod touch. but now my computer doesn't let me open itunes. The the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program.

I don't know what to do. please help me!!!

I had the same problem, then Kaspersky software found a conflict suggesting me this solution.
Itunes now works...even if it always asks to set the cd/dvd autorun on when lunched.

Hi Grandmaz5,
If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

Error when I try to open Firefox. Says Firefox is running in the background and cannot open. Suggests closing that window or restart system. This has happened several times recently. I reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

I am getting an Error when I try to open Firefox that Says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This has happened several times recently. I deinstalld and reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

This happens to me as well. However, I have a shortcut on my desktop as well as my quick start bar. When this has happened to me, I can usually log back in without restarting, by using the shortcut on the desktop rather than the usual quick start bar.
I know this sounds weird, but it has worked for me about 80% of the time.

There is Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer. Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance. Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.
